Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1373 Smoke filled the air
Twenty-five million light-years!

The star map provided by the Kroll civilization shows that the route from the Kroll Galaxy to the front line, which is the destination, is the 627 Galaxy.

Galaxy 627 is a label on the Kroll's star map, representing their naming and numbering of numerous galaxies in this area, and also the name of a frontline galaxy currently at war.

However, the front lines are not limited to the 627 galaxies. Any galaxies marked with a battle icon on the star map are on the front lines. Currently, it appears that a total of eight galaxies, plus the void containing two stargates, are at war.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the edge of the Great Hollow, the distances between galaxies in this region are relatively large. According to observations, the average distance between galaxies here is around five million light-years, which is extremely far.

With the navigation capabilities of a Level 6 civilization, a single voyage would absolutely not be enough to reach the other side.

Perhaps because it was so far away, the cosmic civilization that once resided here built a stargate network.

These are all very advanced stargates, spanning more than five million light-years. These stargates can be crossed in just a few days, making intergalactic warfare possible.

According to the Kroll civilization, in the last few hundred thousand years, the front line has been pushed forward by the second type of boundary breakers by about ten million light-years. The 627 star system that they are heading to is also in danger. If they lose this battle, the Abyss Grand Expedition Organization will lose control of another star system.

What worries them even more is that, starting 300,000 years ago, the second type of boundary breakers began to launch the "Starry Sky Shattering" plan behind them, which is to destroy the star systems they occupied.

If the second type of boundary breakers were to actually launch the "Starry Sky Shattering" plan in this star cluster, then future wars would be even more difficult to fight.

Both the Galactic Great Expedition Organization and the Abyss Great Expedition Organization belong to the technological civilization at the level of visible matter. The destruction of many galaxies in the galaxy cluster will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of resource mining. Even if dark matter can be mined, the conversion cost in the middle is too high.

As can be seen from the star map of the Kroll civilization, the galaxies within are marked with two colors, like a map. One side is the area controlled by the Great Voyage Organization, while a large area of ​​galaxies from the 627 galaxy to the Boötes Great Void belongs to the territory of the second type of boundary breakers.

The Galactic Grand Expedition's fleet of probe ships from eighty civilizations followed the Kroll civilization's fleet, making several stargate crossings before arriving at the front-line battlefield described by the Kroll civilization.

Having just emerged from the stargate, the exploration ships of various civilizations within the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization immediately sensed the smoke-filled battlefield.

Data shows that the 627 star system is not large, with a diameter of only 40,000 light-years. However, it was originally larger than it is now, but due to war, many stars were destroyed, and over time its diameter shrank by more than 10,000 light-years.

The situation on-site was similar; as soon as they arrived, the various civilization probes detected the various forms of light pollution that filled the starry sky.

The average temperature in interstellar space is also much higher than in other places, all due to the explosions of various stars. Looking out, the sky is filled with the light of supernova explosions.

The Krol civilization's combat fleet moved back and forth in this environment, with all sorts of ships, seemingly performing maintenance on the fleet stationed there.

Just as the Galactic Grand Expedition's various civilization exploration ships were curiously scanning around, a message from the stationed fleet reached the fleet that emerged from the stargate.

"Finally, you've arrived! Following orders, your 18th Fleet will join forces with my 17th Fleet to complete this mission. The Pena civilization's fleet is being held back by the Boundary Breakers near the central black hole. We've tried several times but haven't been able to break through their defenses. With your help, we should be able to rescue them! Ah, so this is the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization you mentioned? They're going to follow us? Good, good, good, they've got guts! It seems they're prepared for a one-way trip!" The commander of the 18th Fleet of the Kroll civilization: "Yes, they possess six unique technological civilizations, but they haven't switched from expedition mode yet. So, we sent their probes to familiarize themselves with the battlefield. Haha, Commander Mukovilla, this battle is being watched by allies, don't embarrass our Kroll civilization!"

17th Fleet Commander Mukovilla: "What? Six unique technological civilizations? Avel, are you kidding me? Where did this organization come from?"

The two Krolls communicated on their own communication channels while waiting for the fleet to assemble.

"Heroes don't ask about origins; you just need to know that they're on the same path."

"Very well, we can't let our Kroll civilization lose its prestige. It's a pity our flagship went to support the Abyss Civilization, otherwise..."

"Hey, no big problem, let's wait and see, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future! I have already reported this to the flagship. Once the Galactic Great Voyage Organization completes the fleet structure transformation, there will definitely be a major counterattack. At that time, we will have to see the combat methods of those six distinctive technological civilizations. To be honest, I have never seen so many distinctive technological civilizations in all my years of life!"

"Then you better not die later!"

"You should say that to those boundary breakers!"

"Haha, okay! Anyway, tell me about the current situation and what your plans are."

"Yes, there are three stargates in the 627 Galaxy. We only control this one. A thousand years ago, my 17th Fleet, with 10 billion warships, plus the 3rd Fleet of the Pena Civilization, totaling 18 billion sub-civilization-level warships, along with 70 billion stellar-level and planetary-level warships, formed a joint fleet to launch a surprise attack on Stargate No. 2."

"The main warships of the eight billion boundary breakers stationed at Stargate No. 2 had already been driven into a panic by us, but unfortunately, reinforcements came from the 727 Galaxy. Over a billion boundary breakers crossed the galaxy and came from Stargate No. 3 to provide support. We engaged in a chaotic battle with them in space, but were ultimately defeated."

"During the withdrawal, in order to keep an eye on the enemy's two stargates and to restrain them from mobilizing all their forces to attack my No. 1 stargate, the Pena civilization fleet took the initiative to retreat to the central black hole. However, the group of boundary breakers changed their tactics. While sealing off the central black hole, they sent their lackeys to attack the Pena civilization."

"As you know, although the Pena civilization relies on black holes for combat, it is precisely because they are in the black hole region that their supplies cannot keep up with the Breakers' lackeys. They are now in a very dangerous situation. If we fail this time, the Pena civilization's main fleet will be completely annihilated. If that happens, the 627 Star System may also be lost!"

Listening to Mukovilla's introduction, the commander of the 18th Fleet, Avel, said with a solemn expression: "There is no time to lose, let's split into two groups and head straight for it!"

Mukovilla disagreed: "No, no, no, my 17th Fleet will attack Stargate 2, while you head straight for the central black hole. Once we lure those billion Boundary Breakers to Stargate 2, you can break through the blockade and rescue the main fleet of the Pena civilization."

Awell didn't hesitate; he also thought the strategy was feasible. So he sent a message to the various civilization exploration ships of the Galactic Great Voyage Organization that had come with him and issued the order to set off.

The Galactic Grand Expedition Organization noticed that the war here was different from before. The existence of the stargate meant that the battles here were basically centered around the stargate, because controlling the stargate meant gaining the initiative.

The most difficult part is to completely control both ends of the star gate, because if you fight your way from one end of the star gate to the other, you will have to face the enemy guarding the exit of the star gate. This is a siege!
